Franz Brentano Livres

Un livre sur les fondements et les origines, ainsi que les applications de la philosophie autrichienne

Expanding on the theory of ethics first posited by Brentano in The Origin of our Knowledge of Right and Wrong this re-issued work, first published posthumously in 1952, is based on series of lectures on practical philosophy, given at the university of Vienna from 1876 to 1894. The English-speaking reader will find it interesting to examine the step-by-step development of Brentano's ethical theory, his extensive critique of British moral philosophers, and his unusually detailed section on casuistry.

The book, first published in 1969, explores significant themes relevant to its time, offering insights that remain pertinent today. It is part of the Routledge imprint, known for its scholarly contributions across various fields. The content reflects a deep engagement with its subject matter, providing a thorough analysis that appeals to both academic and general audiences. The enduring relevance of its themes makes it a valuable resource for understanding historical and contemporary issues.

Descriptive Psychology represents a series of lectures held by Brentano between 1887 and 1891. Here Brentano set forth his theory of consciousness, and he did so with the scientific clarity that was one of his main objectives. Exemplary in their methodical and analytic rigour, the epistemological considerations put forward in Descriptive Psychology remain as valid today as when they were first formulated.

Franz Brentano's work introduces his philosophical ideas and theories, emphasizing the significance of intentionality in consciousness. This translation makes accessible his influential concepts that bridge psychology and philosophy, exploring how mental acts relate to their objects. Brentano's insights laid the groundwork for later developments in phenomenology and existentialism, making this text a crucial resource for understanding the evolution of modern philosophical thought.

In diesem erstmals 1911 veröffentlichten Buch behandelt Brentano die Hauptgedanken der Aristotelischen Philosophie und zeigt ihre Geschlossenheit auf. Der Text kann zugleich als eine Einleitung zur Philosophie Brentanos gelesen werden.

Der Philosoph Franz Brentano (1838–1917) – aus der berühmten Familie Brentano – veröffentlicht 1889 seine »Untersuchungen zur Sinnespsychologie«. Das Werk enthält den überarbeiteten Vortrag vom 23. Januar 1889 in der Wiener Juristischen Gesellschaft mit dem Titel »Von der natürlichen Sanktion für recht und sittlich«. Zudem finden sich im Band Überlegungen zur Abhandlung »Über subjektlose Sätze« (1883) des Sprachforschers Franz von Miklosich (1813–1891). Der Leser wird bei seiner Lektüre die Gemeinsamkeiten beider scheinbar so unterschiedlichen Texte erkennen können.
